Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 73 Why did you bring a barbecue stove?

Du Shaojie had no idea that his few pieces of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] had put the chef in the canteen of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences under a lot of pressure.

After Sun Qiang and others left, he tasted the chicken he cooked and felt that it was a little better than last time.

Then I checked the harvest and found no surprise or joy.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: First-class worker]

【Current work: Dezhou Braised Chicken】

【Overall evaluation: medium to low】

【Bonus: Hotel Management Tutorial (II)】

[Reward: Beef brisket (3 kg), simulation training duration (30 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

【Duration: 190 hours\480 hours】

Du Shaojie was very satisfied after making Dezhou Braised Chicken twice in a row, both times received an overall evaluation of "medium to low".

But he had something else to do now, so he took a quick glance and went to work.

If we want to pickle vegetables today, "Qie Lian" and "Xue Li Hong" are indispensable every winter.

"Master Du, the pickle jar is ready and the vegetables are washed."

Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang were busy for the whole morning, and Du Shaojie was preparing today's lunch alone.

Because I had a lot to do, I had a simple lunch, some oil-splashed steel wire noodles.

The production method is copied from the "Oil-Splashed Pulled Noodles". Various seasonings are added to the steel wire noodles, and then minced garlic and chili powder are sprinkled on the surface, and then hot oil is poured on it.

When serving rice, add some blanched Chinese cabbage to each bowl, it tastes delicious.

"Dry the pickle jar, lotus and Chinese mustard greens, and we can pickle them this afternoon."

Du Shaojie looked up and responded, then went back to work.

Before winter comes, not only lotus and Chinese mustard greens must be pickled, but also kimchi must be pickled later. The local kimchi is not much different from the kimchi in Northeast China, which is pickled with coarse salt, chili powder and cumin, and the taste difference is quite big.

Du Shaojie had just finished preparing lunch and before he had time to catch his breath, he heard someone calling him.

"Shaojie!"

Following the sound, I looked over and actually saw Su Dapeng.

Du Shaojie's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked Li Guixiang to serve the food. He quickly walked out of the kitchen and came to Su Dapeng, asking, "Why did you come here so suddenly?"

"Don't panic, everything is fine at home. I just saved up a few days of vacation, so I wanted to come over to your place and have some fun."

When Su Dapeng saw Du Shaojie's face change, he immediately realized that it might be his sudden visit that caused the other party to misunderstand.

He quickly clarified, and Du Shaojie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought something happened at home, I'm glad it's alright. Wait for me, I'll go tell them and then we'll go."

"where to?"

Su Dapeng didn't react for a moment. He glanced at the people queuing for food and swallowed subconsciously.

He was already hungry after the bumpy journey.

Shouldn’t we finish our meal in the cafeteria before going back?

"Just wait."

Du Shaojie turned around and went to the kitchen, gave some instructions to Qin Xiaomei, and then came out carrying a bag.

Su Dapeng had no choice but to follow him out of the cafeteria, and then walked towards the pile of things he had placed at the cafeteria entrance.

Du Shaojie couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "You came all the way here, why did you bring a barbecue stove with you?"

As he spoke, he also stepped forward to help.

There was a brand new barbecue stove on the ground, as well as a urea bag.

The two of them carried the barbecue stove in one hand and something in the other, and walked towards Du Shaojie's residence. "Is that right, Shaojie? Are you upgrading your weapons?"

Walking into the yard, Su Dapeng placed the barbecue stove at the foot of the wall and looked around.

On the way, Du Shaojie said that he had changed his residence, but he didn't expect it to be a big yard.

The last time he came, Du Shaojie was still living in the dormitory, and Wang Yuxiu had never mentioned this to him, which surprised him.

"Didn't they transfer my work relationship to the farm? There happened to be a few vacant yards, and the farm gave me one. Don't be envious. If it were you who could live in a big house here, would you come?"

Du Shaojie curled his lips, washed his hands and prepared to get something to eat.

"Hey, I'm not coming. Well, I brought some mutton. How about we roast some mutton for lunch?"

Su Dapeng made the barbecue stove himself. He went out early this morning to buy a few kilograms of boneless lamb, thinking of rewarding Du Shaojie.

He originally planned to eat in the cafeteria at noon and then come back in the evening to make it, but Du Shaojie brought him home directly.

"In the evening, there's food for lunch."

Du Shaojie shook his head, then went to heat up a few steamed buns, put the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] in the bag on a plate and brought it to the table, then called Su Dapeng to come over for dinner.

Su Dapeng then understood why the other party didn't eat in the cafeteria. There was delicious food at home.

"This braised chicken is delicious, even better than the one my dad brought back two years ago."

Su Dapeng's mouth was full of oil as he ate. The hot steamed bun paired with the tender and fragrant chicken was so delicious!

The two didn't eat much steamed buns, but each of them finished a whole chicken, showing their fighting power. They were at an age when they could eat and sleep, and if they ate as much as they wanted, they could eat their family into poverty.

After eating, the two of them sat slumped in the yard and didn't want to move.

"Dapeng, you can take a rest this afternoon or go out for a walk by yourself. I will take a day off tomorrow to go fishing with you."

Su Dapeng is his childhood friend and good friend. Ever since Du Shaojie arrived at the farm, he has been bothering him with many household matters.

If someone comes to play with you, it is reasonable and moral to accompany them.

But I have to pickle some vegetables this afternoon, so I won’t have time until tomorrow.

"It's okay, you do your thing, I'll just take a stroll by myself."

Du Shaojie then cleaned up a guest room and let Su Dapeng sleep in it for the next two days.

When it was time to go to work, he went to the cafeteria and started working with Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang.

Pickling pickles is a strenuous job, so the field office sent a few people to help, otherwise we would have no time to cook dinner.

Today's dinner is hot and sour dumpling soup and steamed cake. It is a meal in one, with simplicity as the main focus.

After finishing his work, Du Shaojie did not eat in the cafeteria and went straight back to his residence.

Su Dapeng was sitting in the yard resting. He met Chu Xiaowei in the afternoon. When he learned that the other party was going to the county town, he followed him.

He and Chu Xiaowei had met before, but they were not very familiar with each other. However, both of them were very outgoing and did not feel lonely at all along the way.

Du Shaojie couldn't help but laugh when he heard Su Dapeng's story: "You and Uncle Chu really get along well! Here, this is anthracite. Go light the stove and I'll go prepare the mutton."

He did not forget to have roast lamb in the evening, so he brought some anthracite when he came back.

It is difficult to find charcoal locally, but anthracite is abundant and is generally used for barbecue.

Then, Du Shaojie walked into the kitchen and started to clean the mutton. Su Dapeng brought a lot of mutton, about five or six kilograms, and about one kilogram of mutton fat.

Roasted lamb is not tasty if it is all lean meat. It would be better if there is some mutton fat in the middle.

Wash the mutton, cut it into small pieces, and put it in a large bowl. Then, chop the washed rind into small pieces and pour it into the bowl, mix it with the mutton, and marinate it.

At this time, Su Dapeng had already set up a barbecue stove in the yard, with anthracite piled on top of the stove, burning fiercely.

Once the anthracite coals are all burning red, you can start grilling food.

"Master Du, are you busy? Here are some fish. I have already prepared them. I will grill them for you later."

Du Shaojie and Su Dapeng took the marinated mutton to the yard and skewered it. Su Dapeng made the skewers himself and thoughtfully installed wooden handles on them, which are very easy to use.

The yard door was open and Chu Xiaowei and Qin Xiaomei walked in.
